It's the substandard motels on the
(La la la la la)
Corner of 4th and Fremont
Street.

Appealing only because their just that unappealing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was sitting on my mom's couch. She was out with her friends.
Me and Jess were talking.

"Wait so he hugged you?" She said.
"Why does it concern you?" I laughed.

"Dude, I think Brendon likes you."
She said getting my phone.
I grabbed it out of her hand.
"What are you doing?"

"Reading your texts."

"Why?" 
Jess always does this, as soon as I make friends with a boy, she acts like an overprotective parent.
"Because I want to see what you guys talk about" Jess would not let go of my phone.
"Fine!"

She read through them out loud;

Brendon: hey are you coming over?

Alex: I actually can't, Jess is coming over maybe you can join us.

Brendon: that sounds super creepy, sure!

Alex: okay see you when you get here.

Brendon: oh wait did you tell your parents?

Jess made a annoying "ooh" sound.

Alex: I don't really want to talk about that, Brendon.

Brendon: if you don't tell them I will, remember that, I don't want you to get hurt.

Alex: I'm fine.

Jess closed my phone and was silent for a second.

"So are you like pregnant or something? I'm confused." She said giving my phone back.
Oh god even the thought of that made me cringe a bit.
"No! Why... How would you even think that I'm pregnan-"

I heard a knock on the door.
I looked through the window and saw Brendon. Wearing jeans and a black hoodie.
I opened the door and he walked in.

"Hello to you two!" I smiled.
"So what you ladies up to?" He said in a high pitched voice.

"Oh noth-"

"We were just reading her texts and apparently Alex is pregnant? Or something I don't know she didn't answer me yet. But I think that you know." She said in a mockingly tone.

"Shut up Jess oh my god." I pushed her lightly.
"Wait, what?" Brendon said.

"I'm not pregnant, it's about something else, Jess." It was so embarrassing.

"No I'm asking Jess why I would know if she's pregnant or not, we are not even dating, if that's what your pointing at."

"Yeah you know it's just that you guys spend so much time together, I'm surprised you guys aren't dating."

And there it is, Jess is being jealous.

"Hey Jess, I think Ryan wanted to hang out with you right?" Boom bitch.

"No, we hung out last night why?" She covered her mouth after saying that.

I was laughing and Brendon looked like he was trying not to laugh.

"Okay, You know what? Fuck you, fuck this conversation, and please don't fuck each other while I'm gone! I'm going to go hang out with someone who doesn't judge me!" She said getting up to leave.

"Okay see you later tell Ryan I said 'hi!''
I started laughing again and Jess left.

"Oh fuck, is she mad?" Brendon asked.
"No she will be back, she always does this." I said and Brendon sat next to me.
"So I want to know why you didn't tell your mom about that psychopath." Brendon said.

"Brendon, I want to know why you care so much." I tried to avoid the question, I honestly hate talking about "that psychopath".
Brendon looked down and was silent.

It was a few seconds before he answered with, "I asked you first okay?"
"Well." I definitely did not want to admit I was scared to say anything about it to my mom. "I got scared I guess, Brendon. I don't know why I'm scared. I just-"

I was choking up and I could barely speak, this is one of the things I hate about me, I'm a wuss, I can get upset so easily.
Brendon could tell I was close to tearing up so he hugged me.
"Okay, I get it." He whispered in my ear.
We sat there for a while, just sitting on a couch hugging.
After a few minutes I looked at him and he looked down at me.
"So you never told me, why you were so concerned about me telling my parents." I said.
"Well I care about, okay. And besides, who likes seeing someone they care about in pain?" He was still hugging me.
I'm there whenever you need me okay? Just remember that." Brendon said.
"Thanks Bren." I said.

Brendon looked down at me.
"You know your beautiful."
I looked up.
I was speechless. No one but my mother has ever said that to me. And I honestly felt so happy when he said that.
He put his hand on my face and started leaning in.
Our lips met and it felt like magic.
His lips felt so soft against mine.

He pulled back quickly right when I heard the door snap open.
It was my mom.

"Hey Alex, will you help me with the groceries... Why is he here?" She said putting a plastic bag down.

Brendon had a "what the fuck just happened?" Expression on his face.
"Oh umm.. He was just stopping by.." I laughed nervously.
"Okay, fine. Now go get the groceries." She said pointing outside.
"Yes, I will." I walked outside to her car.
I grabbed a small bag and walked back in and my mom immediately grabbed the bag out of my hand.
"Thanks Alex." She said running to kitchen.

"What was that all about?" I asked sitting down next to him.
"I don't know." He said with a smirk.
"Yeah right" I laughed.
---------------------------------
We practicality spent the whole afternoon in the living room watching music videos.
And then he left.

Before Brendon left he kissed my cheek.
My feelings for him changed. I felt in love.
And when he left it definitely hurt.
But what hurt even more was the phone call I got.
I looked at my caller id
Brendons house.

"Hello? Brendon?" I answered.
"No, this is his mom, Alex, you do where Brendon is, right?" My heart sank.
"He left my house like an hour ago.." Oh god.
"I will be right over to talk to you about something."
"Okay.." I hung up the phone and sat on the floor.

I'm not prepared for this.

There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses.
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things.
